Rescue crews were racing to pull survivors from the rubble this evening after a massive, deadly earthquake struck Nepal today.

The earthquake hit about 50 miles northwest of the capital of Kathmandu just before noon local time, according to the U.S. Geological Survey. The magnitude-7.8 quake toppled temples and triggered an avalanche on Mt. Everest.
